Screech (Ex) A gargyle gremlin can issues an annoying shrill when it flies, which attracts nearby predators and scavengers. In urban areas it might also attract local lowlifes who know the sound means presence of potential targets or law enforcement. Any creature fighting, grappling, or shooing a screeching gargyle gremlin suffers –1 penalty Perception (–2 if dealing with three gremlins, –3 with 7 or more).


Gargyle gremlins are pesky gargoylish city-dwellers living across half-abandoned rooftops, hunting pigeons, stealing shinnies, sharing gossip, and being a general nuisance. They might be occasionally be placated with bribes or cowed into a rather unruly obedience.

Sometimes tribes of gargyles find slumbering gargoyles and start to worship them as gods—often after discovering they can't damage them.
